Our writing is off to a great start! We are in the early stages of writing essays and let me tell you, our 5th graders are doing awesome! Here is an example of how easy it is to expand our thoughts when writing. We have learned specific colors to help us organize our thoughts and write it out! Ask your child what green, yellow, and red means when they are writing!

We are using these colored strips of paper to help us visualize our essay before we write it out on paper. Organization is key! Stay tuned for some awesome writing samples! I’m excited to see our 5th graders develop as writers throughout this year.
